When the car all of us were in finally came to a complete stop I was the first to bolt out the door and run up to the apartment. "Jin! Open the door please I need to pack." I yelled at the boy who was trailing behind me struggling to keep up with my pace, he soon was out of breath but opened the door letting me in. I ran down the hall into our shared closet pulling out one of the suitcases I had used when I first moved into the dorm. I was throwing clothes all over the closet trying to figure out what to bring to America. "Hey (N/N)- woah, you aren't going to need so many clothes, we're going for like 2 weeks," Jungkook said while standing at the door of the closet. I stopped packing the clothes I sorted out and just looked up at the boy with a mad look on my face. "You don't get it Jungkook our manager has been on my butt about dressing to match the concepts more so I need to pack extra clothes in case he doesn't approve of certain outfits I want to wear," I explained to him as I continued packing. He nodded slowly before sitting next to me on the floor. "Why aren't you packing yet, or hanging out with the other members?" I asked as I kept folding and packing clothes into the opened suitcase in front of me. "I don't know I don't want to pack yet, and I just wanted to spend time with my favorite member in the world." He replied in a sarcastic tone. I let out an equally as sarcastic "Haha" at his comment of me being his favorite knowing that was a complete and utter lie since Namjoon was his favorite member. "No, you are one of my favorite members, you don't tease me, and you're always fun to have competitions against." He said while folding one of my shirts that was lying next to him. I thought about what he said for a good while, why would I tease him, I thought it was fun seeing the other members tease each other but I never participated because insults and teasing people were one of the many things I couldn't do. I was soon done packing everything I wanted to pack with the help of Jungkook who just started folding and handing me random articles of clothing. I got ready for bed showering and doing my nightly routine before walking into our room, I laid on my bed next to Taehyung before drifting off into a deep sleep awaiting the adventures that would come in the next few days till we went to America.

I was woken up by the blaring sound of eight different alarm clocks signifying that it was time for us to all wake up and get ready to leave for the airport and start our 13-hour trip to Los Angeles. I rubbed my eyes in an attempt to get rid of the sleepy feeling before getting out of bed and getting dressed and ready for our trip. I decided to wear a black skin-tight shirt, with a blue denim skirt and a pair of black doc loafers. 

I walked out of the bathroom to see the rest of the members who were already ready with their suitcases ready to go out to the car that was waiting for us outside

I walked out of the bathroom to see the rest of the members who were already ready with their suitcases ready to go out to the car that was waiting for us outside. We made our way down to the car. We loaded all of our luggage into the back of the black van and got in ourselves. Namjoon decided to sit in the front next to our manager since he was the leader and was going to later give us the information we needed. The car ride to the Airport was rather short and filled with excitement as Taehyung could barely even sit in his seat from being so excited. We all got out of the car only with our carry-on bags since our manager said he would handle the rest of our bags himself and to just go ahead without him. Taehyung was so excited he was jumping up and down yelling about how we were going to L.A. not caring about the few fans that were taking pictures of us. We made our way through the TSA before boarding the plane and filming bits and pieces of our long flight to America. I sat next to Taehyung and Jimin. I fell asleep for almost the entire flight missing out on what the boys had filmed and eaten during the flight. I was shaken awake by both Taehyung and Jimin who were ecstatic that we had finally landed in L.A.X. When we got off the plane and claimed our luggage we were met with a huge crowd of Amrys waiting for us by our van. I waved and flashed smiles at some of them trying not to get distracted and left behind since the other members were already starting to get in the car. The driver started driving to our first activity of the day as I sat between Taehyung and Jungkook. I was making funny faces at the camera throughout the car with Taehyung. "Jungkook can you be our guide since you have experience?" Jhope asked Jungkook from the back of the van teasing the boy since he always bragged about having come to America before. "I don't trust Kookie as our guide, he'll just get us lost," I said while turning back to look at Jhope earning a laugh from the boy. Soon our car was in the parking lot of the Dodgers Stadium. "We're going to a Baseball game?" I asked in an excited tone since this was going to be my first ever live sporting event. We got out of the car and made our way through the stadium trying to find our seats, Taehyung instinctively grabbed my hand in his earning a look from our manager. Based on the look he gave us I grabbed Jungkooks hand in mine so Taehyung was on my left holding my hand and Jungkook was on my right holding my other hand. When I grabbed his hand he seemed to have blushed a little but I ignored it blaming it on the fact that he was still shy around girls even me for some reason. Once we got to our seats we settled down and intensely watched the game. I was trying my best to understand what was going on since everything was in English and I was struggling to understand anything, I decided to just smile and celebrate when the boys did so I didn't look so lost. After the game, we got lugged back into the car and were taken to Santa Monica to enjoy the beautiful sights California had to offer. Our manager took us to the beach and as soon as the car was parked I ran out of the car to the edge of the sand followed by a cameraman. I looked at the camera while pointing at the beach and saying, "This is my first time being at a beach, and seeing the ocean so close up. I love it!" I shouted while looking back at the other members who were laughing at how childish I was being. After a couple of hours in Santa Barbra we drove back to Los Angeles and took a walk down the Walk of Fame and took pictures with almost everything we saw. It was soon nighttime in L.A. which meant we were on our way to where we would be staying for the remainder of the trip, but first, our manager had to figure something out with an error on his Visa "I'll be back stay in the car it might take a bit of time but just stay here." He said before shutting the door and leaving us alone in the car. I rested my head on Taehyungs chest feeling overwhelmed with a sleepiness feeling overcoming me. The car was quiet and mellow filled with the soft sounds of music and Jungkook and I sang along to the songs that were playing. Suddenly a bunch of tall-looking men got into our van waking me and Taehyung up from our slight slumber making us cling onto each other from the fear we were feeling. "Put your phones away we'll take you to your hotel." One of the men said while taking my phone out of my hand and tossing it to the side of the front seat. They turned on the car and started driving away from the parking lot where our manager had once left us. The car stopped in the middle of the street as the three men got out of the car, some random man started banging on the window scaring me even more. The three men opened the door and hurried us to get out of the car by saying "Let's go, Let's go, get out now". I got out of the car with Taehyung following close behind me as he held my hand so tight it was sort of hurting me. It wasn't until I was in a building that I realized I had left both my purse and my phone behind in the car. We got forced into a room with a couple of bunk beds and couches placed next to each other. "Come on Sit down here, sit down." One of the men said while pointing at the couch pushing down on Yoongi's shoulders making him sit down forcefully. I sat down between Taehyung and Jungkook never letting go of his hand, instead, I only held onto it tighter like my life depended on it. "Straight look straight ahead." I didn't understand what they were saying to us since English was a struggle for me to both speak and understand. I just looked at the men who were shouting with a confused look on my face trying to understand what they were saying to me. "Man just look straight!" One of the men yelled at Jungkook and me, he then lunged at us making me flinch back and just look at the wall out of fear. "Take your hats off it's disrespectful." One of them said followed by the members who were wearing hats taking them off and placing them on the glass table in front of us. One of the men kneeled directly in front of Jungkook and me looking down at our feet before saying "Take your shoes off." I followed the other boy's actions and took off my shoes leaving just my socks to cover my now cold feet. The men started laughing and pointing out Jungkook's Ironman socks that I had gotten him for his birthday. I couldn't help but suppress a smile since he was still using the gift I had gotten him a while prior. "Take off that sock. Yeah take off one sock and put it on the table." One of the men said while pacing around in front of us. Taehyung finally let go of my hand catching the eye of one of the men who had kidnapped us. I took off one sock and put it on the table trying my best to follow instructions and not get into trouble with the men. The room was silent with just the sounds of feet pacing around the room. Then there was a projection that appeared on the wall in front of us "BTS, welcome to the American Hustle Life Hip-Hop school. Beginning tomorrow you will have intensive training guided by the greatest legends of hip-hop and the best tutors around, you will be born again as a true hip-hop artist. See you tomorrow!" and with that, the projection faded away and left the wall blank once again. "We'll be back here tomorrow so y'all can just stay here." One of the men said while walking out of the room and closing the door behind them. When they were gone all any of us could do was stare at each other wondering what had just happened and where we were. Jhope got up and opened the door looking around trying to see if the men had left. He walked back confirming that they had left and that it was just us now. We all got up and gathered our socks putting them back on and setting our shoes on the side of the door. "Just sleep like this, we'll figure out where our stuff is tomorrow." Namjoon said while climbing onto one of the bunk beds. There was a set of beds in the middle that were pushed together making one big bed on the bottom. I quickly pulled Taehyung onto the "big" bed with me as he wrapped his arms around me holding me tight and giving me a few pecks on the lips before getting an angry shout from Jin. "Stop doing that before I go over there and make you stop! How can you two be making out in a situation like this!" He shouted in a frustrated tone with was valid but we weren't making out it was just a peck or two on the lips, Taehyung wasn't bold enough to makeout and honestly neither was I.
